----

all throughout their high school years, iris lynn and tanner riley never spoke to each other. they were complete and total opposites.

but one day in the library, a conversation between them starts, and doesn't seem to stop. they open up to each other, share their hopes, dreams.

then they never speak again.

now five years later, they unexpectedly reunite in the big city of san fransisco, and are immediately drawn towards each other. they've both changed immensely, iris breaking from her shell and becoming a singer, and tanner escaping his unhealthy home life.

and when the opportunity arises for tanner to tag along on iris' yearly trip to maui, it seems like the perfect chance for them to continue their story.

but will they finally have the chance to rekindle that romance they never truly got a chance to experience? or will everything soon come crashing down upon them?
